Question by HeyItsBob: What are my chances in getting into an ivy league college?
I’ve always been told that I won’t be able to go to an Ivy league school. 7th and 8th grade I got straight A’s and received a Presidents award. However during 9th and 10th grade, my grades began to fall. Right now I am an upcoming Junior and currently studying for SAT in the summer.
9th Grade:
1st semester – All A’s no APs or Honors allowed
2nd semester – One B+ in English. Teacher gave out one A :'( I got an 89.
My grades started to fall 10th grade due to severe depression.
10th first semester:
AP world – B
Ap calc – B
hnrs chem – A
English – A
Ap Bio – B
Dance – A
First semester I went on independent study due to bullying and depression
Second semester I transfered but I couldnt adjust so I came back after a month. Because of that all my teachers gave me a 0 unfairly and my grades severly dropped
AP World – B
AP Calc-A
english – B
Hnrs chem-B
Ap bio – B
Dance- A
Extracurricular:
-hand in hand. I volunteered 9th and 10th to help special students
– Varsity Golf
– ContraBass won INPASS first place
– ContraBass won competition at Carnegie Hall
– Little prince all youth magazine editor/writer
– internship at SD Magazine
– Piano CM Level 9

My Passion: I was always very sensitive. Due to bullying and recovery I found my passion. That I wanted to help the kids going through what I went through. If I did not have depression I couldve been valedictorian however I am thankful because I found something I can help others with and connect with others to. I wont use depression as an excuse my grades dropped but rather as how I recovered from it and found what I want to do. Because Junior year is very important I am planning to get all A’s and start a Psychology club at my school.
this is my “story” I know my grades are bad but I really do love helping people who are suffering. It makes me happy to think that I can being joy to another being. I really want to go to a good college in order to purse my dreams. Do you think if I work hard I can go to an ivy league?

Yes you can go to an ivy league if you start working really hard from now on. For a person suffering from depression, you’re doing pretty well. Just be the best you can be and keep your passion alive even if you don’t make it to any ivy league college. Wish you great luck 🙂
